Description

Resilience and Health in a Fast-Changing World draws on theoretical investigation as well as empirical research to provide answers to key questions concerning psychological resilience. What decides whether a person suffering misfortune bounces back quickly or falls into despair for years? Which processes and mechanisms constitute psychological resilience? Is there a particular model of human adaptation shaped by evolutionary processes that would enable a person to maintain mental health in unfavorable and changing circumstances? This volume is informative for both academics and practitioners.
